Day 5 (14 Mar 25) - Played in the Friday men’s shootout.  Not my best day - but seeing some real progress in the overall approach game - 6 of 18 GiR, plus several nGiR.  Another plus - carry distances are easing up with the irons.

Day 166 - 2025-03-15

Got some work in after a long day. Been thinning a lot lately, so worked on keeping the collarbones down in that space.

Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels.

Day 5 March 16th, 2025

Went to the range for about an hour. Worked on backswing and downswing piece. Finally got to making shorter backswings. Feeling like the swing stops when hips get to hip height. That is more of a feeling for how much the hands move, the hands get closer to A3-A3.5.

Day 7 (16 Mar 25) - Gusty winds this afternoon- figured I would hit a few wedge shots in the backyard into/against/across the wind.  Worked the 50° and 58° in the process - enjoyed the challenge of working the wind.

      The Spin Axis Podcast

      By iacas ·

      I've started a podcast with Jayson Nickol and Tyson Deskins. The website is here: The Spin Axis Podcast - Golf Coaches Discuss Instruction Modern Techniques and Technology | Hosted by Erik J. Barzeski, Jayson Nickol, and Tyson Deskins Episode 1 is here: 001: How Long Should a Golf Lesson Be? | The Spin Axis Podcast - Golf Coaches Discuss Instruction Modern Techniques and Technology We're going to keep all the episodes to less than 20 minutes, ideally around 18, so you can listen to them on the way to the course (or to work, if you must…). Please do a few things: Subscribe. There are links at the top of every page and on each episode page to various podcast apps/platforms. Listen! The podcasting world actually tracks listens now, so listen to the podcast. Provide feedback. I'd love to know what you like and, the way I'm wired, I'd love even more to know what you don't like. Share it here, as a whole or per episode… all feedback will help us shape future episodes to make them better.
